THUMBS UP
The Martian might be one of the smartest picture you will see all year, similar to 2013 gravity, with Matt Damon’s wit and scientific knowledge that made him ingenious enough to produce water and water his crops for survival it comes close to asking was this based on a true story, until you remember it’s a mission in mars, quite thrilling and you will definitely be rooting for him to get back home those two plus hours will keep you at the edge of your seat.

THUMBS DOWN
Clearly the film revolves around one cast member as it should but with films like gravity, interstellar and now the Martian it’s a little predictable, NASA keeps doing the same thing sending of people to save other people that were left behind and am sure there is an audience that won’t wait two hour plus to see if he makes it back home.
